Sandhill Challenge

This is a record of our awards won in the Sandhill Challenge. This is a competition where students design and build a gravity powered car. High Schools then compete by pushing their car and coasting down Sandhill Road in Palo Alto. This competition traditionally involves students from high school engineering classes. In 1998, our auto tech class decided to take on the engineering classes and our first entry was constructed on a budget of $25.
